Facts about King Merenre II

Merenre II ruled Ancient Egypt during its sixth dynasty from around 2250 BC. His reign is usually thought to have been not too long, although the particulars of his life are vague.
The name means ‘He who loves Ma’at’ and thus Merenre was the second ruler called so.

He is frequently believed to be a child of Pharaoh Pepi II; one of Egypt’s most enduring regimes according to historical records.
For reign: His reign may have lasted only a couple of years. His accomplishments are not well documented, but he is believed to have followed in the footsteps of his predecessor Pepi II.

In terms of architecture: Merenre II began various constructions such as pyramids, but these were not more significant than those built by other kings even if they were simpler than something else.

As Gilded King Merenre III took over following him, not much is known about how he managed to get there. The Old Kingdom was in decline during his reign with internal conflicts and financial issues being significant. Still, it can be said that Merenre II is less famous than contemporaneous rulers; however he is a fundamental phase in Ancient Egypt development.
